PHP 5.1 Beta 1 - Externals

20 years ago by Christopher Kings-Lynne — view source

unread

I'd like to roll PHP 5.1 Beta 1 very soon.
Wez, I've been waiting for PDO in order to get this going. Do you feel
it's mature enough or should I hold off some more time?

Well if someone can help me get sqlstate working in pdo_pgsql I'd be
happy with a release. At the moment it's just silly that it's not done.
However, I'm finding the PDO code a bit of a nightmare so I cannot
propagate the sqlstates in all cases...

Maybe could I send someone my patch so far?

Also, I need an answer to my post "Concern over ext/pgsql API" on this
list...

Hi,

I would like first to see some bugs closed, like:

#30641 - PHP 5.1 doesn't compile on Solaris 9

#31725 - PHP is always segfaulting when using sqlite

upgrade sqlite and PCRE libraries

Maybe also upgrade GD.

Also, can I humbly suggest we add the Progress Meter / Upload Status
Patch for version 5.1? (http://pdoru.from.ro/upload-progress-meter/)

If the list is ok with this, I'm gonna contact the coder of the patch
and maybe he could add it.

Thanks, Rob

If you really need it, take a little help from the webserver:

http://weigon.dyndns.org/upload-progress.html

I'm sure that if necessary this should be possible to add to apache too.

The get an idea how it works:

Also, has someone already integrated PDO configure switches with the
old --with-db configure switches? (i.e. the idea was that --with-mysql
would enable pdo-mysql too so that we don't get lost with a million
configure switches).

There are also some bugs that will break BC:
#32427 (Interfaces not allowed access modifiers)
#32428 (The @ warning error supression operator is broken) - this one looks like a major problem to me.

And some bugs that I'd like to see fixed before we release anything:

#29210 (is_callable - no support for private and protected methods)
#29015 (Incorrect behavior of class members with empty names, because ZE2 incorrectly
considers that all property names that start with '\0' are mangled).

None of these bugs are too hard to fix, so why not to fix them before the first beta?

Jani,

We're talking beta (I don't mind calling it alpha either) to get PDO and
the new engine architecture tested by more people.
It doesn't mean all tests need to pass. Don't worry, bugs will be addressed
before a 5.1 release which is still very far off. But don't expect the
whole bugs.php.net DB to clean out either.

Hello Jani,

yes that'd much better then calling it beta. Beta would prevent us from
changes and according to my history there are several things just missing
right now.

Before we go beta, I'd like to see php_check_syntax() disappear (as it
seems it will never be "fixed").

It's had function table problems since its inception (IIRC, it runs
php_lint_script -- but php_lint_script was never designed to clean up
after itself; the process was supposed to terminate after a php -l)

I spoke with Ilia (and Rasmus) a few nights ago, and they agreed that it
would be best to get rid of php_check_syntax() altogether (it would take
too much effort to fix, and we already have a mechanism for syntax
checking (php -l)).

Anyway, if we're going Alpha, this isn't an issue, yet -- if we're going
Beta, then I'd like to see it removed.

I'll go Alpha. I'll try and roll towards the end of next week.
I agree with Ilia and Rasmus and suggest to nuke it.

Can we get some things straight first (i guess that's the idea of an alpha).
I'd like to reintroduce __toString() since 5.1 is supposed to make it work
again. The patching should be easy enough since we left in most of the
necessary code as we planned to reintroduce it in the first place.

Then i think we need to enable return by reference in c functions to get
array overloading fixed. For thta you have a patch from me. As you have for
several other things :-)

However most important seems to be fixing return by reference. Derick and me
already did a lot of analysis, weeks of and and. Maybe you want to help.

This is also my own list of things to fix in 5.1.

For example, look at how Rasmus has to use string casting in SimpleXML:

http://toys.lerdorf.com/archives/33-Buzzing-the-Yahoo!-Search-Web-Services.html

IMHO, needing to cast for such basic behavior is not in the spirit of
PHP, and it's certainly not simple.

Hey Andi,

I've been a busy with work (and house hunting), so I've been a bit out of it.
Let me catch up and take stock on PDO again; I'd like to push a PECL
release of the various packages this weekend, before we go with Beta

I can't think of any show-stoppers in PDO right now, so the time to
Beta 1 should/can be sort.

at the moment the only problem is that the mysql driver is only available
for the old protocol but fortunatley hartmut said he'll take care of that.
To avoid confusion i'd like to see the old driver as 'mysql3' and thave the
new one as 'mysql' something like we have for sqlite.

The plan is to have only one mysql driver that can be linked against
both version 3 and 4 of the client libraries.

I've been a busy with work (and house hunting), so I've been a bit out of it.
Let me catch up and take stock on PDO again; I'd like to push a PECL
release of the various packages this weekend, before we go with Beta

I can't think of any show-stoppers in PDO right now, so the time to
Beta 1 should/can be sort.

at the moment the only problem is that the mysql driver is only available
for the old protocol but fortunatley hartmut said he'll take care of that.
To avoid confusion i'd like to see the old driver as 'mysql3' and thave the
new one as 'mysql' something like we have for sqlite.

Best regards,

Hello Wez,

i very much dislike that idea because a mysql3 will never be working as
expected. It can never support multiple statements at a time or transactions
or whatnot. Thus i pretty much want something that keeps me from using it
until i am pretty sure i really can live with that. A distingushing by
having to add the version for the old stuff would lead to that.

But neither can most other drivers.
Since the majority of the API is the same, what sense is there in
duplicating the code?

I agree with Wez, there seems to be little point in having two virtually
identical drivers for MySQL in PDO. One common driver, where in one
instance some functionality is emulated and in other natively supported.
BTW In MySQL 3.23 transaction are possible, but you need to use innodb
tables to "access" them. Having one driver would also make life simpler
for people who need to work with both MySQL 3.23, 4.0 and 4.1

OK so keep me posted in the beginning of next week.
I'll also look at some of the other mentioned issues.

Hey,

I'd like to roll PHP 5.1 Beta 1 very soon.
Wez, I've been waiting for PDO in order to get this going. Do you feel it's
mature enough or should I hold off some more time?
Also, has someone already integrated PDO configure switches with the old
--with-db configure switches? (i.e. the idea was that --with-mysql would
enable pdo-mysql too so that we don't get lost with a million configure
switches).
